I think they've had their heydey. The PC game market used to be dominated by adventure games. Several genres evolved after that took advantage of the PC's capabilities in ways that really grabbed gamers in different ways, namely FPSes and RTSes. But RPGs are still played on the PC. Fallout series has a great story (so I'm told), Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights to name a few.
And adventure games are making their comeback, at a lower price point these days albeit.
